Illinois Law Is On Your Side
Under 765 ILCS 710 Security Deposit Return Act, your landlord must return your deposit within 45 days if they are not claiming deductions, or send an itemized claim within 30 days if they are.
If they miss these deadlines, they forfeit the right to claim deductions. If they act in bad faith, you may be entitled to double damages.
